FAIRNESS LIDS Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 If link capacities are each 1 unit, then Maximum throughput is achieved by giving short session one unit and zero units to the long session; total throughput of 3 units One concept of fairness would give each user 1/2 unit; total throughput of 2 units Alternatively, giving equal resources to each session would give single link users 3/4 each, and 1/4 unit to the long session Laboratory for Information and Decision SystemsFAIRNESS QuickTime™ and a GIF decompressor are needed to see this picture.
